“The next round of negotiations on the Ukrainian settlement will take place in the trilateral Russian-American-Ukrainian format on 17-18 February in Geneva,” Peskov said.
Russian presidential aide Vladimir Medinsky will head the delegation, the spokesman added.
The Russian delegation will be headed by presidential aide Vladimir Medinsky.
At the two previous meetings, it was led by Igor Kostyukov, head of the Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces.
In late January and early February, closed-door talks of a security working group involving representatives from Moscow, Kyiv, and Washington were held in Abu Dhabi. The sides discussed unresolved issues related to the peace plan proposed by the United States.
Following the second round, Russia and Ukraine conducted a prisoner exchange under a “157 for 157” formula.
The Kremlin noted that the United States acknowledged that a long-term settlement would be unlikely without resolving territorial issues based on the formula agreed at the Alaska summit.
According to Moscow, the withdrawal of Ukrainian forces from Donbass remains a key condition.
